Recruiting location moved
Posted: Sun Jan 26, 2025 12:09 am
Per the changelog: "There is no longer an over-eager faceless background NPC recruiter waiting to pounce upon anyone who blunders into a certain mausoleum in order to try and press new recruits into Rook Parlour. While the active recruiting of sorcerers would likely be frowned upon within the town of Shadgard, it's said that the nearby sketchy inn known as the Hanged Man, just outside the town walls, is far less picky about such things ..."
Yeah, it was pretty bad how the Rook Parlour recruitment schpiel was just immediately unleashed upon anyone who walked into the previous location. That, and Adalmund was getting annoyed about having to share his room with that overly-enthusiastic recruiter. Adalmund's used to having the space to himself. And we'll also avoid potential confusion where some people might have thought that it was Adalmund doing the recruiting, but it wasn't - he just works (lives?) there. Just a kooky old gravekeeper wanting to be left to do his job in a very busy graveyard, no time for philosophizing or sorcerizing or recruiting or whatnot.
Anyway! Like the changelog says, characters wanting to join Rook Parlour should now have a look around the Hanged Man and see if they can find anyone that they might be able to identify as a Rook who they can then ASK ABOUT JOINING.
P.S. I don't actually recall if we ever officially announced that Rook Parlour was recruiting new members again, but it has been for a while now. In any case, this will serve as an announcement for anyone who didn't already know. Hooray!
